CGPA to percentage

How Vasireddy Venkatadri Institute of Technology (Autonomous), Nambur, Guntur converts CGPA to percentage

VERIFIED 2026-08-15 from the college's own R20 regulations, read in full; formula stated at §14(vii). || THIS ROW BREAKS THE CLASS-BAND HEURISTIC, WHICH HAD HELD NINE TIMES OUT OF NINE. Across every previously resolved college, (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 came paired with raised class bands of 7.75/6.75/5.75/5.00, while −0.5 came with 7.5/6.5/5.5/5.0. VVIT pairs −0.75 with 7.5/6.5/5.5 — and a Pass floor of 4.0 matching neither pattern. The heuristic is now nine of ten and must be demoted from 'useful cross-check' to 'weak correlation'. Any inference from a visible grading table without the conversion clause is unsafe. || THE COLLEGE HAS BECOME A PRIVATE UNIVERSITY. VVIT is now VASIREDDY VENKATADRI INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY (VVITU), a state private university with its own domain vvitu.ac.in, a Chancellor (Vasireddy Vidya Sagar), a Vice-Chancellor (Dr. Kodali Rambabu) and a Principal (Dr. Yennapusa Mallikarjuna Reddy), and a stated capacity of 10,000 students. This is the FIRST STATUS CHANGE OF THIS KIND in the AP sweep — an autonomous college leaving the JNTUK affiliation system entirely to become degree-awarding. Consequences: (1) the UGC autonomous list still carries it under the old name, so the row belongs here; (2) university-era students are governed by VVITU regulations, not located; (3) vvitguntur.com still hosts the regulation archive and remains the source for pre-university cohorts. COLLEGEBATCH HAS ALREADY RETITLED ITS PAGE to the university name while keeping the old college URL — expect directory confusion. || AUTONOMY DATE: 2019, per University Innovation Fellows, consistent with R19 being the first institutional regulation. || THE REGULATION IS INDEPENDENTLY DRAFTED, not a JNTUK template adoption: its own §-numbering, a four-component internal assessment (online objective 10 + descriptive 10 + open-book assignment 5 + SUBJECT SEMINAR 5), an open-book assignment test with 'questions of L4 standard on Bloom's scale' where students may bring three printed textbooks, and authority resting with the Academic Council and Governing Body. Consistent with the pattern established at Sri Vasavi: independently-drafted regulations choose their own constant. || THE SUBJECT SEMINAR AS A GRADED INTERNAL COMPONENT is unique in this batch — every student presents on a self-chosen topic within each subject for 5 marks. || GROWTH FIGURES ARE INCONSISTENT ACROSS THE COLLEGE'S OWN PAGES: the R20 regulation says annual intake 1,260 B.Tech + 81 M.Tech with 'almost 4000 students' and ten branches; the Exam Cell page says 1,440 + 72 with 'more than 6000 students' and eleven branches (adding AIM). Both claim 345 teaching and 225 non-teaching staff and both say 'in a short span of ten years'. The Exam Cell page also leaks raw PHP ('public $MetaDesc =') into its rendered text. Treat enrolment figures as approximate. || TEN B.TECH BRANCHES under R20: CE, EEE, ME, ECE, CSE, IT, CSM (AI&ML), CIC (IoT & Cyber Security with Blockchain), CSO (IoT) and AID (AI & Data Science). Five M.Tech programmes. || FOUNDED 2007 by Er. Vasireddy Vidya Sagar under the SOCIAL EDUCATIONAL TRUST, with an initial intake of 240 in four programmes. NAAC 'A' (CGPA 3.09, March 2016); CE, EEE, ME, ECE, CSE and IT NBA-accredited; ISO 9001:2015. 13 patents, 16 books, ~690 journal papers, 10 completed and 6 running DST projects, and a JNTUK-affiliated Research Centre. Centre of Excellence with Siemens India (2016); USD 200,000 from Google Inc. in May 2018 for a Code Lab with APSSDC; Stanford's University Innovation Fellowship; a Northeastern University VDC. Partly powered by a 100 kW solar plant. || DESCRIBED AS 'ONE OF THE TOP TEN ENGINEERING COLLEGES FROM THE 200 AFFILIATED TO JNTU KAKINADA' in its own regulation.

Worked example

Source & verification

own — Vasireddy Venkatadri Institute of Technology (Autonomous), Academic Regulations (R20) for B.Tech (Regular), §14 Computation of SGPA and CGPA, clause (vii): 'As per AICTE regulations, conversion of CGPA into equivalent percentage as follows: Equivalent Percentage = (CGPA – 0.75) x 10'

IMPORTANT — VVIT USES −0.75, NOT −0.5, DESPITE HAVING 7.5-STYLE CLASS BANDS. At CGPA 8.0 that is 72.5%, not 75%. Applies to: B.Tech (Regular, 160 credits) admitted from AY 2020-21 and B.Tech (Lateral Entry, 121 credits) from AY 2021-22, under R20. Grade scale (10-point): A+ (Outstanding) = 10 (≥90), A (Excellent) = 9 (80-89), B (Very Good) = 8 (70-79), C (Good) = 7 (60-69), D (Fair) = 6 (50-59), E (Satisfactory) = 5 (40-49), F (Fail) = 0, Ab (Absent) = 0. Class is awarded on CGPA, not percentage: First Class with Distinction ≥ 7.5, First Class 6.5–<7.5, Second Class 5.5–<6.5, Pass Class 4.0–<5.5, FAIL BELOW 4.0. THE PASS FLOOR OF 4.0 IS THE LOWEST IN THIS REGISTRY — most AP autonomous colleges set it at 5.0, so a VVIT student at CGPA 4.2 passes where a peer elsewhere would not. Distinction is awarded only if all credit courses are cleared within four years (three for lateral entry); students approved for a break in study for entrepreneurship or start-ups remain eligible. Zero grade points are included when computing SGPA and CGPA.
